My London Dating App Experience: Tinder & Bumble

May 28, 2020June 18, 202014 Comments

Three years later, I am finally publishing this, while slightly cringing. Looking back I was incredibly boy crazy and made a few unwise decisions. I enjoyed my dating escapades in London and it provided invaluable lessons to get me where I am today, but I am glad to have matured since then. The first night … Continue reading My London Dating App Experience: Tinder & Bumble

The Lost Art of Reading a Book

2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

January 9, 2017June 25, 202024 Comments

2016 has surprised me, as I never imagined it could top 2015. This has been a year of adventure, growth, and turning lifelong dreams into a reality. Of course, 2016 has been a shitty year globally, but who says I can't focus on the positive? Now I know 2017 might not be as life changing … Continue reading 2017 Resolutions & Looking Back on 2016

Adapted from a short story I wrote back in January 2010 - I tried to play it off as fiction, but this is the real story about what I went through back in 2007.

Iso-walks before the knee injury. Not long til I’m back in the game and can walk around the beautiful parks of Melbourne. 🌴☀️
Did (Aussie) summer even happen this year?
Throwback to blond hair, dressing up, and leaving the house💃🏼
